@Mola_Ram Ok, do you know a few phrases in Japanese and drop them casually into conversation everytime someone vaguely Asian-looking is in earshot?

Nope. Even if I did do that, chances are the person wouldn't even be Japanese anyway. There's way more Korean than Japanese people around here, and I don't know anything in that beyond "hello", "nice to meet you", and "beer, please".

Thank God, I went to the London Film and Comic Con earlier this year, it was filled with weeaboo wierdy beardy man-children harrassing chinese vendors who they thought were Japanese. I like a bit of Anime every now and then but these types take it too far.

Yeah, been to a couple of those. Most of the people there are perfectly nice, and there's nothing wrong with being passionate about something.

The ones that do make it over to Japan, though, get a bit of a rude awakening sometimes. It's quite far from the magical wonderland of their dreams. If they can manage their expectations, though, they'll do fine, and not become bitter, cynical ex-weeaboos.

I enjoyed 7 and 8, but didn't get as much out of 9 because it felt like more of the same. I normally wouldn't complain, but I did play the crap out of those two games. I went back to play 3, 4, 5 and 6, ironically, many years later and I enjoyed them, but now i've played Xenoblade Chronicles, i'm happy to leave the series behind.

Edit - I also played 10 through to the last boss, but was never once gripped by the story or characters. The linear paths made things quite dull too.

If yo uread the eptition it says why people want him fired. Reasons include:

1)Moving Square Enix's headquarters based on advice from a fortune teller named Pao (no joke, look it up)

2) Silly comments like this in regard to FF13: "Mass Effect and Fallout allow the players to play with more freedom, and within their story-lines it is quite successful. But we're more interested in things such as first person shooters like Call of Duty." [Source: techdigest]

3)His recent failure with FF14 is just one of them.

4)Another is the huge damage done to the FF brand which he admitted himself. FF used to be known for its amazing stories and turn based atb battle systems where you can control all the characters...suddenly they want to make it like COD?

5)Making a sequel to the the terrible FF13 game that no one asked for (which by the way sold 66% less than FF13 and sold 66% less than even FF10-2, not good signs for the series)

6)The mangement under Wada is a disaster : annoucing games like FF versus 13 more than 7 years before its released is not a good idea
